"Improperly veiled" woman assaults Iranian cleric

One of the many problems for women living in Iran is gangs of so-called 'religious' thugs who harass them for infractions of the dress code.

One particular mullah got more than he bargained for when a woman he was publicly chastising responded with an attack that put him in hospital for three days. This story is from a few days ago, but it's an interesting one and I wanted to make sure people didn't miss it. The pictures of the result are pretty gruesome (H/t Boing Boing.)
